Troy Aikman accomplishes half-marathon goal at Cowboys Stadium

Former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, donning bib No. 8, finished Sunday’s America’s Run half marathon in 1:49:47, amid cheers throughout the stadium. Aikman easily accomplished his desired sub-two hour finish by running with Mike McGuire and Jason Nix. Aikman said it was much harder to run the distance alone in training. His wife and daughters were on hand to congratulate him at the finish line.

“It was pretty cool,” he said of running down the tunnel into Cowboys Stadium, but it didn’t compare to “Pasadena in 1992,” referring to the Cowboys’ Super Bowl victory over Buffalo at the Rose Bowl, where he earned MVP honors.
